Should arts-related entertainment venues such as museums and art galleries be free of charge for the general public, or should a charge apply for admittance? Discuss this issue, and give your opinion.

There is a debate about whether the places like museums and art galleries which provide entertainment for people should be given free entrance or not. In my opinion, it should charge a reasonable

fee

for admission and

this

essay will discuss the justifications for my view.

Firstly

, maintaining a venue is not an easy task and it has many maintenance costs

such

as electricity, water, and cleaning. All these

items

get billed by the relevant authorities and need to be settled on a time for uninterrupted service.

Hence

, there must be a way to earn money to pay bills and so collecting a reasonable amount for admission would help to maintain the

place

nice and clean.

Secondly

, to run the

place

it is required to keep dedicated staff as well.

Therefore

, staff salaries

also

need to be settled and substantial income is required for

this

.

Finally

, some

items

displayed in these museums and art galleries are required to be paid a royalty

fee

.

Hence

, a regular income is critical to smoothly

a high valued aesthetic entertainment

place

. Paying a very nominal

fee

like $5 per person to entrance won't be an issue for a visitor who would like to enjoy fine arts or historically valued

items

. It gives an extra value to the

items

inside when the entry is valued and only the people who have real enthusiasm will enter the premises. To conclude, in my view it is always best to charge a small

fee

for the entry and use that collection to maintain the

place

instead

of using taxpayer money to maintain a public entertainment

place

. It is fair for the taxpayer as well as the museum visitor.
